I wanted to but he said no because I broke up with him and he is trying to get over me ..
1.why do you think he might be wanting to be friends maybe he misses you . Other wise its weird if he is going to want help from you on the new girl.
2.5 years is a long period of time but don't forget as you start being friends old memories will start popping up.
3.If he is seeing someone else what the hell does he want from you ..maybe he isn't over you yet and wants you to be jealous ?
4.maybe he regrets it and misses you .Remember he is the one to make the move if he broke up with you ..
5.If you are not over it and don't want to start having more feelings for him don't be friends ..
6.If he lives in another place what is the point of being friends is he going to come and visit you with his new girl friend or so ?
be careful hope it helps Yasmin

In considering fact #6 adn fact # 3, I'd say no. My answer would be the same, if you did the breaking up. But in considering fact #5, I think you should go to where he is, and give him anohter try. Maybe by the time you get there, the someone else will be nothing but history.

I think if you can be his friend then go ahead But i wouldn't be i would want to break something over his head Cause some of my ex and me is friend so girl if you can go ahead and be his friend then ok just don't have any thoughts of getting back together thats just setting your self up for more pain i hope it helps Good luck

There is a reason he's an ex. I would cut my losses and go. If you aren't over it yet, I'd stay away. Too painful, plus it could cause issues with the new GF. your call, but I wouldn't

Personally I dont think that this can ever really work because if you are still seeing each other regulary- you can become confused as to where you stand. Particulary where the boundarys lie. I dont think its fair to you or your ex.

first of all love just doesn't dissapear on it's own it takes time to heal,it's okay to be friends with an ex but kinda watch how far you let it go emotions wise but if it bothers you don't stay around to get hurt.

No! not unless you are completely over him. You are only hurting yourself by being in contact with him
